Haha yes I did, oddly enough. But only like 3 lbs. I don't look any different.

And thanks!

Just try upping them, and don't weigh yourself the day after upping them haha, wait a couple of days first.

Sigh, I feel oddly proportioned as well..

5'6, and 128 lbs, but a size 6-8ish. 

Must be my 'bubble butt' lol.

Also the fact that I'm a 'late bloomer' and have more growing to do.

Wow guys, thanks for all the replies! After reading them all, I've been eating a little more (1500), and I haven't weighed myself in a while, but I haven't felt like I've gained weight in about a week, so I'm hoping that its working, by eating more.

A lot of people have told me that I'm just going through a late puberty because I've stunted it for the past 4-5 years, so its all coming rapidly now, especially since I have just gotten my period about a month ago. But the thing that worries me the most is that I don't think I look like I should, because my family is genetically very slim, and right now, I look a little on the chubby side because most of my weight gain has gone to my stomach, and I honestly just feel very self conscious about it all the time, because for the past couple years, everyone has always told me I'm too skinny etc, and now I'm heavier than alot of my friends. I just don't feel very comfortable at this weight. But I've decided to wait it out and see if I grow at all within the next couple of months, plus I'm going to the doctor soon, so we'll see what happens.

Also, hypothyroidism--is it curable?

what  would blood tests show?

other than hypothyroidism?

I checked my BMI and its 19.6...isn't that a healthy weight?

I love vitamuffins. They're not quite the same as a costco muffin or an otis spunkmeyer muffin, certainly not as good as a fresh-baked muffin from a coffeshop, but they satifsfy a craving and have some fiber and protein and vitamins.

I buy the deep chocolate ones and the blueberry or cranberry apple ones in the frozen section of the grocery store, or sometimes i buy a mix and make my own sf banana nut muffins.

You can order them online...I don't because it's expensive but they have so many amazing flavors like peanut butter chocolate chip and triple chocolate chunk.

And they're only 100 calories!

i'm eating around 2200-2300 and I'm 5'5 and 112 pounds and i've maintained on this for quite a while now. But oddly enough i don't have my period..

I'm with kajikit here. While it might be a few cals over, it's not a huge difference. 3 ounces of a meat compared to 4 is a huge difference though. At the end of the day, it's close enough for me.

Although, I wonder if there's a difference in starting weight and viewpoint. I mean, compare how many calories I used to eat to maintain/increase my weight before I started to my current intake. 100 calories is nothing when you're over 300 to start. But if you only need to lose 10 pounds, seems like it'd be harder.

lol a few calories over?

you have to remember that a serving of cereal is typically around 30g. even if you put it in a cup and then weigh it out and it's 10g more--and even though 10 isn't a big number--that's 1/3 more calories. in a 120 calorie cereal, that's 40 calories more...

40 calories is not a big deal at all.
